Feelings thermometer: five levels, calming tools, blank fill-in

A printable feelings thermometer that lets a child show how big a feeling is and choose a way to cool down. Counsellors, teachers and parents use it in a classroom or at home. The three thermometers are a five-level scale from calm to angry with a face beside each band, the same scale with a calming strategy at each level, and a blank one for the child to write what each level feels like. Each comes in three styles.

• a counselling room or classroom wall
• a home chart for a child's big feelings
• a family talk about feelings

Frequently asked questions

What are the five levels?

Calm, okay, worried, upset and angry, numbered one to five from blue at the bulb to red at the top.

Which calming strategies are shown?

Keep going, get a drink, take three deep breaths, ask for a break, and talk to a grown-up.

How does the blank thermometer work?

The numbers one to five run up the side, with an empty ruled line beside each for the child to write what that level feels like.

What is the difference between the styles?

Cartoon is bright clip art, boho neutral is dusty colours on cream, and kawaii is soft pastel with blush cheeks.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
